"I only tried them on in my room on carpet. This is my first espadrille sandal so I was confused about how to strap them. I agree with the other reviewers about the ankle strap. However, I may have them crossed wrong but it was fine for me. I just haven't tried it on ground yet. I was able to go to the 2nd hole in the strap. I wear between 8-9 in shoes but I looked at the responses for the width and decided to go with the 9 which I'm glad I did. The color gold is beautiful and would be perfect for the summer with dresses or skirts."

"I should have listened to the other reviews about the strap! I figured I had super skinny ankles and might just fit mine, but nope! Even on the last hole, my circulation was not happening. But I think even with longer straps, I wasn't feeling the shoe. I knew it was going to be a hit or miss. Too bad."

"These shoes I ended up loving, BUT they are not really beige. The straps are GOLD. Still neutral, but only the heel is the hemp beige. The ankle strap is a little tight. I have thin ankles, but I would imagine most people with any bigger ankles will find them too tight. Good go-to shoe to have in the closet for the summer."
